How do I remove the air silencer from my intake?



Where is it located?



What are the pros & cons of removing the silencer?

Removing the air sliencer is easy. lt's located in front of the air box and it goes down to the fenderwell. This can be done with a screwdriver and l don't think there are any cons to this. The pros are, you get better intake sound, a little bit of hp, better air flow and it's free.
